I have looked all around the internet, and can't seem to figure out how to uninstall a WPI application. I accidentally installed something thinking it was something else, and now I can't uninstall it.
You could remove them via control panel.
Depending on what you want to remove, you either need to:
Go into windows programs and features and turn windows features on/off, locate the feature you wish to remove and untick it.
Else
Go to uninstall a program section and locate it that way and uninstall as you would any other program.
I achieved this by opening IIS Manager selecting Handler Mappings (From the root node). I then deleted all PHP Handlers, I then opened FastCGI settings and deleted all php settings. I then removed all php entires from the system path and finally used those paths to know where PHP was installed and deleted the php folders. Finally The web platform installer allowed me to reinstall PHP and re-setup the handlers mappings for me.
You need to use Server Manager to do that.
Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Server Manager
Highlight Roles in tree view on left
Under Web Server (IIS) section, look to right and click "Remove Role Services"
Then uncheck the role you want to remove
This usually requires you to reboot the server after removal.
If anything didn't work.. you can try install windows install clean up tool. Few clicks to get rid from that WPI
Cheers

I have an IIS site on a Windows 2012 R2 server. The site has an Application inside it:
The URL for this site is setup on our Active Directive servers as it is only accessible internally from our company. The URL follows the following structure:
http://NAMEoftheSERVICE.myCompanyServices.myCompany.local
The service for this site is placed in an internal folder:
http://NAMEoftheSERVICE.myCompanyServices.myCompany.local/InternalFolder/Service.svc
I have placed a number of test files both at the root level and in the internal folder:
http://NAMEoftheSERVICE.myCompanyServices.myCompany.local/HelloWorld.html
http://NAMEoftheSERVICE.myCompanyServices.myCompany.local/InternalFolder/HelloWorld.html
I can browse these files without any problems. However, I cannot browse the service at http://NAMEoftheSERVICE.myCompanyServices.myCompany.local/InternalFolder/Service.svc
The browser returns
However the file is there, and I have made sure there are no typos in the URL I put in the browser.
I have looked at similar questions but there seems not to be anything like the problem I am experiencing. The only question that looked promising was:
WCF service file not visible
But the answer for that post does not apply to my issue as I already have the configuration mentioned in that post setup as it is suggested.
I have checked the IIS-level config files for any exclusion regarding .svc files or anything similar, but could not find anyhting.
Have you got any suggestions on where to look at to solve this issue?
Solution: Install HTTP Activation feature
After running some more testing on other sites on the same server, I actually realised that the issue was specific to .svc files. I therefore made another search on Google and found that the server was missing the "HTTP Activation" feature (part of the WCF Services).
So, if you are having the same issue on .svc files follow the following steps to make sure you have the right components installed on the server:
Open Server Manager
In Server Manager, click the Manage menu, and then click Add Roles
and Features
In the Add Roles and Features wizard, click Next. Select the
installation type and click Next. Select the destination server and
click Next.
Skip the Server Roles page.
On the Select features page, expand ".Net Framework 4.5 Features",
expand "WCF Services" and select "HTTP Activation". Click Next.
On the Confirm installation selections page, click Install.
On the Results page, click Close.
The same can be achieved by running the following Powershell command:
Install-WindowsFeature -Name NET-WCF-HTTP-Activation45
This did the trick for me. I hope it can be of help to someone.
I need to create an installer which can be downloaded from net and installed without any Admin rights.
I've Created a "Install Shield MSI Project" . In Release Wizard I've chosen
Media Type -> Web,
Web Type -> Install From The web,
one .cab per component,
Checked One Click Install,
In Release tab
Setup I've chosen
Required execution level -> Invoker,
Advertise If Prerequisite are elevated -> Adversite:silent,
InstallShield Prerequisite location -> Download from web,
Generate One Click Install ->Yes,
In property Manager I've set
ALLUSERS=2 and MSIINSTALLPERUSER=1
I'm able to download the installer and can install it but it asks for Admin password.
How can I remove this UAC?
The settings related to prerequisites will not help here; at best the advertising helps avoid a second UAC prompt, but that's only if there was a first one.
The properties ALLUSERS and MSIINSTALLPERUSER are for conditionally per-user installations. For an installation that is always per-user, you are better off specifying Require Administrative Privileges=No in the General Information view, in the Summary Information Stream section. This will prevent the UAC prompt.
Note that this setting will cause the installation to fail if it actually requires any administrative access.
Recently I have been experimenting with Firebreath and developed a plugin in order to showcase my c++ projects on my portfolio website. I would like to make it easy for users to look at the projects without downloading files if they are new on my website.
The only issue I have at this point is that when users visit my page, they will receive a message indicating the plugin is missing. I would like to have an option for the users to automatically install my plugin without having to manually download and run it.
The plugin is mainly targetted at Windows users, since the applications are as well. I intend to support Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer. Currently I am using a MSI installer to install the plugin.
I have found a question similar to this, but I still needed to save the MSI installer and run it.
My question is: What would be the best way to implement this?
There isn't any way to "automatically" do what you want to do. The closest that I have heard of would be to use a java applet that would download and install the plugin for them. This can be pretty reliable on Mac but far less reliable on windows (for a number of reasons, among which the fact that many windows users don't have java installed and that Chrome blocks java applets by default without intervention by the user).
Other options include:
Creating a CAB file installer (only works on IE)
Creating a XPI firefox extension that packages the plugin (requires restarting the browser, only works on firefox)
Creating a CRX chrome extension that packages the plugin (only works on Chrome)
Microsoft ClickOnce used to work pretty well for one click installs of MSI files from a web page, but recently I think it doesn't work on many (if any) browsers; haven't seen it used in awhile, anyway.
There is no "automatic" way to install plugins; that would be considered a severe security issue. This is probably the #1 reason that plugins are as uncommon as they are.
do what adobe does,
create a tiny activeX application downloader, sign the activeX from with cheap SSL
when a user, enters your site, he will automatically be downloading this tiny ActiveX, after installation complete, inside the tiny ActiveX, have some type of batch script to download the EXE from remote server and silently install it.
adobe does this, on every reboot in boot.ini or startups
very easy
Windows web server 2008 R2 64 bit, CF9 64 bit, IIS7, ISAPI extensions and filters and II6 metabase compatability installed. OS is on C default, and trying to install CF to D:
Testing IIS and it shows index.html correctly from c:\inetpub\wwwroot at http://localhost/index.html
Then I install CF to D:\ , single standard server licence, select run with all IIS sites, select C:\inetpub\wwwroot as the web root for administrator, and when it gets to the bit where it is supposed to open up administrator to complete the installation it opens up the browser with a 500 error.
Now when I go back to http://localhost/index.html I also get a 500 error, if i uninstall CF I can again reach the html page.
CFIDE has been installed in C:\inetpub\wwwroot presumably correctly. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong please.
Update
The exact IIS error is
HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error
The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.
Module IsapiModule
Notification ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler AboMapperCustom-28262
Error Code 0x800700c1
Requested URL http://127.0.0.1:80/test.htm
Physical Path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.htm
Logon Method Anonymous
Logon User Anonymous
Resolves as below
There is a setting Enable 32-Bit Applications under Application Pool>Advanced settings. Set this to True and you will gain access to your CFIDE>Administrator page.
I would suggest first trying a restart. It is one of those things that after the fact sounds so obvious, but you never think of it. I know I have had problems with installing CF under IIS and had to restart the server to get it running.
I'm humiliated to admit it, but the problem was that what I thought was the cf9 64 bit installer, was the 32 bit one.
# Dave and # CfSimplicity many thanks for your help and in particular the IIS user account stuff was new learning for me.
Try checking the file system permissions for this folder:
D:\ColdFusion9\runtime\lib\wsconfig
The account that IIS uses needs Read, Execute and Modify permissions on this folder and below.
It might be because of two problems.
1) you haven't installed CGI, ISAPI extensions and ISAPI filters aren't installed yet in Web Server (IIS) of Server manager.
Window 2008 R2 with Coldfusion
2) you need to enable 32 bit application at IIS7.
Internal 500 error CF9 on Window 2008
I tried a different approach with my Windows 7 Home Premium - See http://coldfusioner.blogspot.com/2011/12/fix-number-1-installing-64-bit.html
It seems that I was successful by using the IIS Connector batch scripts manually and then to create a second default web site after installing the handlers. My article link above shows the steps I took - a very raw article and will likely be refined as I hear from others how they adapted my approach. The important thing is that this worked ;>) I hope it helps others...
The problem could be that your Application Pool that is part of your default website. It is possible to set it to run 32 bit applications. Try setting the Enable32bit to false in the defaultapppool of your IIS server, restart the app pool and your www service itself. Then try to use the ColdFusion wsconfig tool to add the IIS mapping. It should work even without the cf 9 updater 1 being installed on the server.
To avoid a 500 error when accessing the Administration console for the first time when installaing ColdFusion 9 on a Windows 2008 server with IIS 7.5 installed, include the "IIS_IUSRS" user group with "Full Control" to the \Lib\wsconfig folder in Enterprise server or \runtime\lib\wsconfig folder in Standard server. Before starting the ColdFusion install, make sure the "IIS 6 Management Compatibility" functions are installed, especially the "IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility" function.
Assuming that you use the default installation paths (C:\JRun4 for Enterprise or C:\ColdFusion9 for Standard), here is a step-by-step approach:
Begin the ColdFusion installer as an Administrator. At the completion of the initial installation process, but before accessing the online Administration console, do the following:
1.) At the Start Menu, select "Computer"
2.) In the Enterprise install, go to C:\JRun4\lib. For the Standard install, go to C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\lib.
3.) Right-click "wsconfig" and select "Properties" to open the wsconfig properties dialog box.
4.) Click the "Security" tab.
5.) Click "Edit" to change permissions for that folder.
6.) Click "Add..." to add a new user/group.
7.) Enter "IIS_IUSRS" in the Object name field and click OK to return to the Permissions dialog box.
8.) In the permissions dialog box, ensure that the "IIS_IUSRS" group is highlighted and click "Full Control" in the "Allow" column, then click "OK" to close the dialog box. Ensure that the permissions change will affect all files and folders under wsconfig.
9.) Click "OK" to close the wsconfig properties box.
Return to the ColdFusion installer wizard and continue the installation by clicking the open ColdFusion Administrator link. If the settings are correct, after a minute or two, a web browser with the ColdFusion Administrator Console should appear so you can complete the installation.
What are the configuration file settings to enable webservices on IIS 7.0 in classic mode?
The site has to be in a classic mode application pool because the Report Viewer controls crash when running in Integrated Mode. However in a classic mode application pool, webservices produce the following error message:
The requested content appears to be
script and will not be served by the
static file handler.
•If you want to serve this content as
a static file, add an explicit MIME
map
EDIT - Additional Error Message Info:
HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found
Module: StaticFileModule
Notification: ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler: StaticFile
Error Code: 0x80070032
Note: This particular instance of the application will be running in a customers account on a shared hosting enviroment so access to IIS UI is not/will not be available. Specifically seeking configuration file adjustments.
In IIS Manager (Start -> Run -> inetmgr), select the website or virtual directory you want to set to classic mode.
In the right hand panel "Actions", click on "Basic Settings".
Next to application pool (that is defaulted to DefaultAppPool), click "Select" and change it to "Classic .Net AppPool".
Walkthrough is here.
Update: Sorry, I misread your question. There are a couple of things you can try:
The first is to double check the IIS installation features from the control panel (Programs and Features -> Turn Windows Features on and off -> Internet Information Services -> World Wide Web Services -> Application Development Features). I have everything bar CGI and Server-side includes checked).
Secondly, make sure that your site is correctly setup as an application (select website -> Actions -> View Applications). If it isn't there you'll need to add it.
Third thing to check is specifically the Handlers, which is accessed through IIS Manager -> Select website -> Handler Mappings -> Open Feature -> Make sure .asmx is there. I have it three times, WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated (handler System.Web.Handlers.WebAdminHandler), WebServiceHandlerFactory-ISAPI-2.0 (Isapi Module), and WebServiceHandlerFactory-ISAPI-2.0-64 (Isapi Module).
Finally you make sure you are using the correct .NET version for that application.
Again, apologies for the original duff answer.
Thanks Junto for the post! I tried so many things that other people were suggested but couldn't get my site to work. I followed your instructions and sure enough, my applications were listed under Sites in IIS, but were not shown in the Application Pools. I deleted the Applications and created them. Everything work as expected after that.
In case someone is interested of what I went through. I was migrating from IIS6 to IIS7. All the virtual directories and applications seem to be ported fine, but not all of them got into the Application Pools. So, if you're running into the same issue, "Error 400.17. If you want to serve this content as a static file, add an explicit MIME map", check your App Pool to make sure all your applications are shown.
This sounds like your HandlerMappings are a bit screwy. You can revert to known good a baseline (provided you haven't tinkered with the server wide Handler Mappings) by doing:
Open IIS Manager
Open the site in question
In the Features View for the site open the Handler Mappings feature
In the Actions pane (top right), click on "Revert To Parent"
